This is a rare and exceptional collection. I feel these songs deeply and my ancestors who created them through hardship, natural intelligence, faith and a profound love and belief of an afterlife!

Slave Songs of the United States
Thanks for posting this. This is real history.
Thanks especially to the folks who went out and did the research on these songs, and wrote them down. way back in the 1860's. Can you imagine what that must have been like? Heading to the worship services and writing down the words, and trying to put the melody to music? I wouldn't be surprised if some of the songs were made up on the spot, at the time they were written down.
